Another jewel in FM collection Just finished first part. IMHO it is too hard to find so many secrets especially on expert. With secrets objective I found bug - it was checked on only when I found 8th secret.

Thank the lord for the optional KO function

I don't want to read any spoilers since I just started the game. I do have a question though. Is the armory door a bug? I read there was no sense in looking for the key, but when I leaned towards the door to see if that room was the armory I just went right through the door so I could get all the weapons & I was able to leave too, pretty cool bug...hehe

Yes, that is a bug. One that somehow managed to slip past us in beta testing, too. You're not *supposed* to be able to get in there until you get the key, and get a glimpse of whats going on in the house.

I can't find how to get to pit under the maid's bed. I even checked that there really is one, by bringing a bedroll and sliding it on the floor there - where it did a perfect "cartoon physics" trick by first stopping then falling down Looked all around, and blindly frobbed all around, I can't find anything resembling a switch or whatever.

LOL did all the second part swearing against the author because in spite of playing on Normal, the mission was insanely difficult to me.

I had only found a few brodhead arrows somewhere and I went on trying to kill the enemies one by one, with no clue on where to go. No rope arrows, no water arrows, nothing!
Finally I found the key of the armory, when I had only one arrow left, and I managed to kill everyone.

On my way back to the beginning I realized that I had missed the sword!
Sorry Nicked, I hope that your ears are not hissing too much! (I hope that it makes sense in English ).

It was a good challenge, after all! Good work, a very imaginative mission!

I'm not finished though, I needed the rope arrows to go and take a certain key......

lol Rowena Nothing like missing the 'obvious' to make you feel silly. (Specially considering I spent an HOUR trying to figure out how to get started in "Bafford's Town House" last night. NOthing I tried worked until I found the second lockpick. Which of course was right in front of my nose the whole time. Grrr. lol So you're not alone!) But hey, you're good if you got as far as you did without that sword.

You should have also found some water arrows near the start to help you get rolling.

But yeah, seriously, if you managed that far with that bit of equipment you did really well!

On my way back to the beginning I realized that I had missed the sword!

Argh! You're not supposed to be able to get out of the basement without either rope arrows or the sword... The rope arrows should be needed to claim the key from the upside down room and the sword to slash the wooden blockade. Exiting through the library should require rope arrows as well...

Oh well, I'm glad you've stuck with it despite the lack of weapons, and hopefully find it a bit easier now you've got a sword! It should be possible (or nearly possible anyway) to ghost mission 2, but it'd be a hell of a challenge... I tried to design it to be more fun to hack n slash your way through mission 2, to counter the forced ghost of the previous mission!
